Sorry for my bad english :) - but maby i can help you.

Here my config:
Code:

#
# Sound
#
CONFIG_SOUND=y

#
# Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
#
CONFIG_SND=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y
# CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY is not set
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
# CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER is not set
# CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set
# CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set

#
# PCI devices
#
....
.....
....
CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=y
....

thats all!

After you have enable your Sound Modules - go to:

"/usr/src/linux/scripts" and execute the "MAKEDEV.snd" script.

Ready! :)

Have a look at this file:

Code:
/usr/src/linux/.config

You can either edit it with an editor like vi or nano, so...

Code:
nano -w /usr/src/linux/.config

...should be sufficient, or edit it with:

Code:
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig

This is if you followed the installation handbook correctly and symlinked /usr/src/linux with your kernel source folder.

You are welcome. Just don't forget to re-compile the kernel as explained in the installation handbook.

I personally never used genkernel but I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to use it instead of, say, make menuconfig or editing the .config file manually.

Yes, a recompile is necessary.

Just follow the ALSA guide and start at "Configuration of ALSA" (the steps before are for kernel version 2.4) and you should get it work quickly.

I can confirm that. If I recompile my kernel to support ALSA with the via82xx driver sound works quite well.
